3.64 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are gemstones that speak in whispers of ancient trade routes, royal treasuries, and craftsmen who shaped beauty by hand, and this greenish yellow chrysoberyl belongs to that lineage. From the storied mines of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, where gem cutting and appreciation have been refined for centuries, comes a translucent oval cabochon that carries the quiet dignity of classic design. The Natural Gemstone Company is honored to present this Other certified Greenish Yellow chrysoberyl, a stone that reads as both timeless and imminently wearable. At 3.64 carats and measuring 8.45 by 6.96 by 6.35 millimeters, this gem is an elegant size for a signet ring, a pendant that rests close to the heart, or a refined pair of earrings, each setting allowing the deep, intense color to breathe and glow. The cabochon cut is a nod to tradition, an ancient approach to shaping light that predates modern faceting, chosen to emphasize the soft, internal radiance and to create a serene, lamp like presence that complements the gemological pedigree of Ceylon stones.

The physical qualities of this chrysoberyl read like a checklist of classic desirability, and each attribute contributes to a narrative of authenticity and craft. It is translucent, allowing light to permeate and return a warm, greenish yellow hue of intense saturation, intensified by an excellent polish that presents a smooth, luxurious surface to the eye and skin alike. The stone is eye clean when evaluated at eye level, which means it offers visual purity to the wearer while retaining the microscopic internal character that geologists and connoisseurs prize. This chrysoberyl has undergone no enhancement, a quality that many collectors and traditionalists regard as essential when seeking a true natural expression of color and structure. The oval cabochon shape is an enduring silhouette that has been favored for centuries by those who value restraint and continuity in design, allowing the gem to integrate seamlessly into heirloom pieces or to serve as the centerpiece of a new classic. With its provenance from Ceylon Sri Lanka, this gem joins a lineage of celebrated gemstones that have passed through royal hands and artisan workshops, each stone shaped by the same combination of nature and human skill that defines genuine legacy pieces.

Inclusions within gemstones are often described in modern language as imperfections, yet in the language of collectors and historians they are signatures, trace marks left by the earth that tell a more complete story than color or carat alone. Though this chrysoberyl is eye clean, it contains internal features that are best appreciated under magnification, and these minute inclusions function as natural identifiers, akin to fingerprints. Fine silk like needles, tiny mineral crystals trapped during the stone s slow crystallization, and minuscule fluid filled pockets can reveal the conditions and locale of formation, and in the case of Sri Lankan gems, they often echo characteristic patterns associated with that storied terrain. These internal markers support origin and authenticity, and they enrich the buyer s relationship to the gem, transforming it from a mere ornament into a tangible piece of geological history. For jewelry made to last generations, such inclusions are not faults to be hidden, but features to be celebrated, for they are proof that the stone was formed by the patient processes of the planet rather than by human intervention.

When a gem is presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, we aim to provide both material excellence and a narrative that honors tradition, provenance, and the hands that bring a stone to form. This 3.64 carat greenish yellow chrysoberyl, oval cabochon, with its dimensions of 8.45 by 6.96 by 6.35 millimeters, intense color, excellent polish, eye clean clarity at eye level, and natural, untreated origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka, is a ready companion for classic settings and a candidate to become a family heirloom. Its internal inclusions serve as private signatures that confirm its natural birth and enrich its story. For those who value legacy and the enduring language of fine gemstones, this chrysoberyl offers a bridge between ancient artisan traditions and contemporary appreciation, inviting a future in which a single gem can carry memory, provenance, and beauty across generations.
